Albania from its independence to the establishment of the communist regime.

U ovome radu prikazuje se stanje u Albaniji od njezina osamostaljena pa sve do dolaska komunista na vlast, što bi odgovaralo razdoblju od 20-ih do 50-ih godina 20. stoljeća. Čitavo ovo razdoblje prožeto je velikim napetostima koje su obilježene stalnim previranjima moćnih ljudi i država u borbi za vlast. Početno razdoblje je obilježeno vladavinom Ahmeda Zogua, najprije kao premijera pa kasnije i kralja Albanije pod protektoratom Italije. Talijani su izvlačili silnu korist od svog utjecaja nad Albanijom, kroz eksploataciju ruda, ali i važan strateški položaj za imperijalističku politiku. Pojačavanjem napetosti pred Drugi svjetski rat, Talijani okupiraju Albaniju, a kralj je primoran pobjeći. Nakon kapitulacije Italije u ratu, Albaniju okupira Njemačka. U razdoblju rata je proklamirana ideja Velike Albanije kojom su se trebali ujediniti etnički Albanci u zajedničku državu. Porazom Njemačke u ratu na vlast dolazi komunistička struja predvođena Enverom Hoxhom.In this work author tends to write about history of Albania from 1920s until 1950s which correlates with time since gaining independence until the reign of communist party. This precommunist era is characterized by great tensions between several parties and countries in order to prevail as dominant force in Albania. Strongest political figure in Albania of that time was Ahmed Zogu who served, firstly as prime minister and later as king of Albania under the Italian protectorate. Italians exploited albanian mineral wealth and make use of their geographical position in their imperialist aspirations. Just before WW2 Italians occupated Albania as the king was forced to fled abroad. After the Italian capitulation German forces occupated Albania. During the war idea of Great Albania was actualised. The idea was that all ethnical Albanians should be united in one country. After the end of WW2 occupation ended and communist party came to power
